Home Kenya Initiative Malawi Initiative News Brighter Tomorrow at Origin
Our objective is similar to that of Fairtrade; however, we operate slightly differently. Rather than just paying a basic standard price (as with Fairtrade) we work with farmers from selected co-operatives in Malawi and Kenya to help them improve the quality of their product and command a higher price for their yield. In addition, we provide funding for a range of community and environmental projects within the co-operatives.

Since 2006, we have been working with a co-operative in Central Kenya helping to modernise equipment and facilities, and funding a new health care centre for it's members and the community.
By choosing our KENYAN DAWN™ coffee, you are supporting a co-operative of over 2500 farmers in the Kiambu district.
Our initiative in Northern Malawi started in 2007 by supplying seedlings to help counter widespread deforestation. We have also funded the expansion of medical testing facilities and provision of skilled lab staff.
By choosing MALAWI GARDEN™ tea you directly support the growers of the Kawalazi tea plantation.
